starter motor rebuild kit, needle bearing problem

Post by harrimansat »

Hi, I have bougth in Ebay a rebuild starter motor kit.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/280461863216?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

All parts were ok, except the needle bearing that is a different size, the one that I need is for a 13.5mm shaft, BMT141912A, the one in the box is a HK1312, is too small.
Someone knows where I can buy the correct one, or any solution?
Thanks
Regards

Miguel

Miguel did you ever find the bearing you were looking for?
I just bought the exact same kit for my '79 and am having the same problem, a further complication ....I destroyed the original bearing when removing it.
If you found a replacement could you let me know where you got it?

Thanks
Rick

It is very difficult to find, I think almost impossible. Luckily mine was not broken, and was reused. The easiest way is to machine the shaft to 13mm ... If you find it, let us know!

Thanks Larry, but the bearing we need has a 13.5mm inside diameter, 19mm outside and 12mm deep. The 13.5mm I/S seems to be the deal breaker, I have found it in China but haven't had a lot of success with stuff that I have bought from there.
